Cartoon Museum

Friday 31st May 2024 I went to the Cartoon Museum with my auntie Denise. We travelled there straight on the Elizabeth from Ilford to Bond Street. This was my seventh visit. They had a new exhibition called The Heroes British invasion of American comics. The exhibition shines a light on the many British creators who provided art for iconic superheroes including Batman, Spider-Man, Hellboy and Hit-Girl, including works by Brian Bolland, David Lloyd, Doug Braithwaite and Alison Sampson. You’ll discover British attempts to imitate American strips in the 1940s; find out the story behind the 1972 launch of Marvel UK; see rarely-seen full-colour early American comic newspaper pages by RF Outcault, Harold Foster and Alex Raymond; and enjoy stunning artwork by key figures from the history of British and American comics, including works by legendary names such as Jack Kirby, Jack Davis and Tarpe Mills. You’ll even get to see the costume of a real-life British superhero! Afterwards I went to the Disney Store in Oxford Street my favourite shop to look around and take pictures on the way to Pizza Express where I had dough balls, Pizza and chocolate cake for dessert which was delicious. Below are some pictures from my day and also if you like reading my blog please comment.

Here’s My Pin Badge I bought from the Disney Shop
